Please join the Asian Pacific American Medical Student Association (APAMSA) for their upcoming virtual Lunch and Learn sponsored by the Student Advisory Board (SAB).

Sophia Antoun is an Intercultural Specialist for Asian Pacific Islander Desi American Student Initiatives (APIDA) at Ohio State University. Her talk will focus on the Model Minority Myth or the assumption that certain minorities within the US. have often been used to refer to a minority group perceived as particularly successful, especially in a manner that contrasts with other minority groups. By its definition and logic, the term could be applied to any number of groups defined by any number of criteria, but it is perhaps most commonly used to frame discussions of race. In particular, the model minority designation is often applied to Asian Americans, who, as a group, are often praised for apparent success across academic, economic, and cultural domains—successes typically offered in contrast to the perceived achievements of other racial groups. The model minority argument, however, is not without controversy and has earned the labels of stereotype and myth as critics have taken aim at both its premises and conclusions.
